Mamavation Monday & My Application

Today is not just any other Mamavation Monday, it’s the first day applications are being accepted for the 5th campaign! I am really hoping that the number 5 is lucky for me, since for as long as I can remember it’s been my favorite number. Making my application video was hard, I’ve done this two times before. I decided the best thing to do was just to go for it, and wing it. Speak from the heart and the words will follow.

Here are a few pieces of Mamavation business before I officially apply, for the 3rd time, to be a Mamavation Mom!

MAMAVATION TV: Join us Monday night at 7pm PST/10pm EST on Mingle Media TV.

SISTA OF THE WEEK: And a BIG congratulations to Rachel Lacy @Rachel_L for being the Sista of the Week! Give her props on twitter girls!!!!

And now, the moment you have been waiting for. My apologies on my video making skills, and my apologies for the shakiness. That’s what happens when you really want something, and you sit in your bathroom to hide from a 5 year old! Fear I tell ya, fear! :)

If you’ve watched, and you want to show me support, I will need you to jump onto Twitter and tweet this out several times:

Do it once a day, twice a day, 50 times a day, just do it. This is how Leah @BookieBoo sees the passion, sees the desire, and if I could tweet it myself, I’d be doing it non stop until the little Twitter bird cried out in pain and said “Stop! Stop!”

Thank you for watching my video. Thank you for supporting me!

Oh! For my regular lovies who want to hear my weekly weigh-in, I’m holding at 194. It was a very rough week (more on that later, but a friend’s baby girl was diagnosed with a serious heart condition). It’s great to see that I maintained instead of gaining after a stressful week and a little too much emotional eating!
